The Out of Sync Child: 2022 Mom’s Choice Gold Award Winner
The Out Of Sync Child is an absolute sanity saver for any parent with a child who finds life too noisy, too bright, or too busy.
My journey researching special needs in kids started in 2007 when I came across ‘The Out of Sync Child’, it became my best friend. I laughed so loud at some points which I identified with but, I also cried many, many tears as I realised what my child was facing on a day-to-day basis.

In my day it wasn’t available on Audible but thank goodness it is now for the busy mom! You can take out a free trial and get the book for free.
I also cried with relief for all those times when people judged my parenting skills and questioned my ability to cope with motherhood. They were wrong! I was wrong; I should never have let them get into my head and allow me to doubt myself and lose confidence. I was a good mother, doing my best to catch a curveball that had been thrown my way.
I smiled knowingly that everyone who stared at my child while she was having a meltdown and muttered ‘spoilt brat’ or ‘naughty child’ had got it SO wrong.
The book gave me the confidence to stand by what I believed; my child was different. A blessing. An absolute ‘my’ life changer. I have grown so much as a person in understanding, patience and knowledge and I am so thankful for that.
SPD is different for every child. Some will shy away from sensory experiences and some may seek them out. Some may have an intense fear of mud and some may roll around in it. Some may sit in a corner hiding away from everyone and some may dance and bump into everyone they meet. If you would like to learn more on SPD I highly recommend reading The Out of Sync Child.
Why “The Out of Sync Child” Stands Out
Way back in 2007 when I first read it, I could tell this book was going to be a winner, and earning the Gold Winner Award, “The Out of Sync Child” has proven itself as a must-read for anyone involved with sensory-challenged children. It is easy-to-understand advice and actionable strategies can transform your approach to helping your child thrive. With this recognition, there’s no doubt that this book is a reliable guide to learning about sensory integration issues.
